Protoculture Addicts

Protoculture Addicts is a North American anime and manga magazine, and also the name of the company that publishes it.

The magazine

Protoculture Addicts is one of the oldest anime and manga magazines in North America. Its name derives from the popularity of the Robotech cartoon series, and its deus ex machina, Protoculture. It was started as a Robotech fanzine. Although it is a North American publication, it covers many things about the state of anime and manga in France and the French-speaking world. This is because manga and anime are more readily available in Europe, and they started in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, a francophone region of Canada with a mixture of French and English speakers. The first issue, issue #0, was published in the fall of 1987, issue #1 officially launched the fanzine in the spring of 1988. It later became a standard commercial magazine.

The company

Protoculture Addicts, the publisher, used to be called Ianus Publications. At one point it published a magazine called Mecha Press, which was focused on mecha, mecha toys and kits, and other things mecha. It also published the infamous Anime Shower Special (or Anime Shower) a special comic that featured shower scenes from anime and manga.
